It had to happen sooner or later, right? Change: it’s one of the constants in our lives, next to breathing and eating and fill-in-the-blank. I’ve been through lots of changes over the years, some good and some bad, but luckily most have been good. This latest change is definitely in the good column.
The change: I just accepted a full-time position at tenfour agency. My title won’t fit easily on a business card, especially the tiny ones they use at tenfour: Senior Front-end Web Developer/Designer. Inhale.
The not-so-happy part of this deal: I need to put Modal to rest. My attention needs to be focused on my new role at tenfour, and working full-time and freelancing don’t mix well (I tried it. It doesn’t work), so one has to go. I’ll miss the loose schedule, the ability to meet people during the day, not having to request vacation time…but I’m trading it all for a rockin’ job with an awesome crew, and for that I’m grateful. I’ve admired tenfour from a distance for some time now so it’s a real kick to be taken under their wing. Good times, totally.
To all my clients here in Oregon and beyond, thank you for helping me get to this point. I appreciate the work, and I appreciate the mix of folks that I’ve worked with. I wish you all the best, and I hope you find someone out there to take my place that’s almost as good as I am. Okay, as good if not better. But we all know “almost” is right, don’t we? Yes, we do.
I’m keeping this website around for a least a little while. Maybe I’ll keep it forever. My LLC is going to be killed within days, but the domain is mine so I may as well continue with it. At least two people read it and I don’t want to make them mad.
Happy new year, folks! It’s already a doozy.
